Table 37 Troubleshooting the Web Configurator

PROBLEM

CORRECTIVE ACTION

I cannot access the

web configurator.

If the Prestige’s Ethernet IP address or management IP address has changed,

then enter the new one as the URL.
Your computer’s IP address must be on the same subnet as the Prestige’s

Ethernet IP address or management IP address (whichever you use to access the

Prestige).
See

Section 12.9 on page 99

to check that pop-up windows, JavaScripts and

Java permissions are allowed.
Ping the Prestige. In the computer, click Start, (All) Programs, Accessories and

then Command Prompt. In the Command Prompt window, type "ping" followed

by the Prestige’s IP address (192.168.5.1 is the default management IP address)

and then press [ENTER]. The Prestige should reply. Otherwise, make sure your

computer’s Ethernet adapter is installed and functioning properly.
You may also need to clear your Internet browser’s cache.
In Internet Explorer, click Tools and then Internet Options to open the Internet

Options screen.
In the General tab, click Delete Files. In the pop-up window, select the Delete all

offline content check box and click OK. Click OK in the Internet Options screen

to close it.
If you disconnect your computer from one device and connect it to another device

that has the same IP address, your computer’s ARP (Address Resolution

Protocol) table may contain an entry that maps the management IP address to

the previous device’s MAC address).
In Windows, use arp -d at the command prompt to delete all entries in your

computer’s ARP table.

I access the wrong

Prestige when

using the

management IP

address for access.

This problem may occur if you have more than one Prestige on the same LAN.

Disconnect your Prestige from the network and connect directly through the

Prestige’s PC port. You may also need to delete your computer’s ARP table entry

for the Prestige’s IP address (see above).

PROBLEM

CORRECTIVE ACTION

I cannot access the

Prestige.

The username is admin. The default password is 1234. The Password and

Username fields are case-sensitive. Make sure that you enter the correct

password and username using the proper casing.
If you have changed the password and have now forgotten it, you will need to

restore the default configuration file (see

Section 2.3 on page 31

). This restores

all of the factory defaults including the password.
